f) Alarm for overloading
If a set limit value is exceeded, the measuring device will sound an alarm every 10 seconds
and “
OVERLOAD
” will flash in the display. Press any button to stop the alarm. However, the
“
OVERLOAD
” display will continue to flash.
This function cannot only be used for protection of the measuring device or a connected
load but also to signal when the load has exceeded the set limit value during operation.
You do not have to monitor the display all the time.
A power value (W) as well as a current value (A) can be set as limit value.
The function is deactivated if “0” was entered for both limit values.
If both values are programmed (e.g. 1000 W and 2 A), the alarm is activated when the
lower of the two values is exceeded (for the example above, the alarm is activated at
2 A; this corresponds to a power of 460 W for a mains voltage of 230 v/AC).
• If you have set the CO

emission (see section e) before setting the limit value for overload-
ing, you can proceed directly with the next step.
Otherwise, the set-up mode must be started by pressing the “SET” button (1) for approx.
3 seconds. “
